Sometimes fast trumps stylish when it comes to your hair but I’ve got a few tips to help you achieve both!

Ease up on the shampooing. There’s no need to wash your hair every day, and doing so is likely to strip your hair of its natural oils and cause damage. A bit of natural oil in your hair helps your ponytail look sleek. If you hair seems a little too oily, but your strapped for time, try using hair spray, gel or dry shampoo. Spray it in, brush it out and you’re instantly given style and volume. Try your best to last 3-4 days in between washes.

Vary your ponytail. There are so many ways to make a ponytail: high, low, side, messy – whatever look suits you best or that occasion. Accessorise your ponytail for a finished look, clip a bit of bling or flower next to the elastic you used to make the ponytail.
